Italy Airfares

The cost of flying to Italy or anywhere is often your largest expense. Airfares have been on the rise and baggage and seats are costing even more on top of airfares. There are some tricks to manage these costs and we talk about them in this video.

Lets list some ideas to help manage airfares:

Use Hopper app to predict when airfares will rise and fall

Use other travel apps like TripAdvisor, Orbitz and airline apps to compare prices

If you are using miles to pay for your trip, get your ticket early (11 months prior to flight)

If you are using travel cards like Capital One Venture our cash to pay for your airfare, use techniques above to predict when to buy.

I stalk the internet – google flights, individual airlines. I scored round trip Anchorage/Rome for $526 on British Airways, travel end of Feb. beginning of March. I know that is a very typical time of year for price drops and you see them in November.
